I've been poking around with 6-beta & current (with the gcc 4.1
reversion patches pulled across)  for a few weeks now, but I tend to
use sh derivatives (sh, ksh, zsh, and a few users on the box use
bash).

I definitely saw odd issues under csh with gcc 4.5, but not retested
with 4.1. While it may not be a {t,}csh bug, I wonder if its the way
they handle the tty & signals that trigger the issue?

Oh, and we'd *love* for you to have a little time to be digging into
vax again :)
